4x4 Drilled and Slotted Rotors - Competition Diesel.Com

Cummins12Club · 06-08-2017, 09:11 AM

I remember seeing drilled and slotted rotors for 1st gen 4x4s a few years back. Does anyone know if these can still be had? I've searched on google for some time now and haven't found any leads.

Quick search unless I'm missing something more specific you're looking for?

Wow I guess I'm not too bright. I could only find 2nd gen and newer stuff. Just ordered them from Summit. Thanks for your help!

Can you explain your reasoning for going drilled/slotted vs stock type vented solids ?

I would consider cryo rotors. Drilled are noticeably noisier. Cryo last longer.

No on the drilling. Just a horribly bad idea.

Unless you're competing in slalom, kinda challenging in our first gens, the vented solids are your best bet, cryo or stock type being your choice.

When drilled, you lose braking surface, and the rotor needs to be correspondingly larger to counter that.

Besides that, theres very few rotors that I'd trust when drilled, Brembo & Wilwood being two of them.
